Do you love giving or receiving DIY Gifts?

DIY gifts are a great way to share your talents, get creative, add a personalized touch and in some cases save a few dollars.

From yummy treats and fragrant soaps to vintage decor and snarky plant markers. I scoured the internet to gather a variety of highly curated DIY gift ideas for everyone on your list!

IMPORTANT NOTES TO CONSIDER BEFORE DIVING INTO DIY GIFTS

1. WILL DIY REALLY SAVE MONEY? If your goal is to save money, make a material list and really asses if it's cost-effective. Some DIY projects will actually cost more than buying a finished product.

2. WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON HAND? Do you have leftover wood from a previous DIY project? Fabric from a sewing craft? Consider the inventory that you have on hand and how you could use or repurpose those materials to make affordable and creative DIY gifts.

3. CONSIDER YOUR TALENTS. Are you an amazing seamstress, baker or chef? Do you have a knack for woodworking? Think about your hobbies and talents and how you can use those skills to make affordable and one-of-a-kind gifts for friends, family, neighbors and teachers.

4. WILL IT CAUSE MORE STRESS? The holidays are supposed to be a fun and festive time of year. If making DIY gifts will lead to feeling more stressed then consider scaling back your projects and crafts or eliminating them altogether.

5. MAKE IT A PARTY! Host a fun Christmas craft evening and knock out a few gifts while also spending time with friends and family. Enjoy yummy treats and share a few holiday drinks while making a fun and easy craft for your guests to take home.
